8192

The next day, the man got up early and went to work.On the first morning with him, there was no so-called sweet atmosphere between the two of them.This makes 8192R can't help but feel that he seems to be wrong again.

Regarding what happened last night, 8192R does not think he was impulsive.But to him, it didn't seem to be the case at all.

He may regret it.

Thinking of this, 8192R's chest seemed to be twisted severely by iron tongs.It clearly felt that it didn't matter even if it was treated as a replica.But after being treated tenderly by him, the slightest hint of neglect made it unbearable.Just thinking about it all day long, in the evening, the man returned home on time.

His attitude was the same as usual, as if what happened yesterday never happened.After eating, I will whisper thank you to it.Before going to sleep, I will say good night to it.

The man turned off the light in the living room and closed the bedroom door.

Tonight, he should be able to sleep alone.

8192R eavesdropped on the crack of the door for a long time.It wasn't until he heard the sound of heavy breathing that he tiptoed back into bed.

That's good, it thought.As long as he can live well, he has nothing else to ask for.However, 8192R, who considers himself very dull, clearly found that the man's face seemed to be getting more and more haggard.

8192R was a little worried, still thinking about whether to accompany him to the hospital sometime.As a result, at the weekend, he fell ill after all.

8192R admitted that he was very responsible for his illness this time.

On Saturday afternoon, 8192R went home after purchasing and found that the owner was rarely at home.However, the temperature dropped suddenly that day, and the wind was very strong. It took a coat and searched around in a hurry, and found him near the embankment on the river bank.The man stared at the sparkling waves blown by the wind.That back figure seemed to disappear from this world at any moment.

Putting the coat on him, the man turned his head and said:

"how about you?"

"I'm a robot, I won't catch a cold."

The man smiled wryly, and Ren 8192R helped him put on his coat.

"I... feel very sorry."

He spoke suddenly.

8192R is a little nervous.What is he trying to say?

"I'm sorry to make you worry so much these days."

The 8192R is a bit underwhelming.It didn't know if there was something else in his words, and it didn't know why he said such words with a guilty face.

He really regretted it.

In the end, all I could get from him was apology and gratitude.

In fact, 8192R already knew it in his heart, but he just didn't want to face the reality.

I don't even have the qualifications to be a substitute.

So, what reason should I use for my useless self to stay by his side?

"You don't have to worry too much."

The voice that came out of the throat of steel didn't have much emotion.

"I'm your robot, it's all part of my job."

The man did not speak.

His eyes became elusive, so that the expression on his face became a little stiff.He just turned his head and continued to look in the direction of the river, without looking back for a long time.

8192R is very regretful, it should have pulled him home earlier.Because of the cold wind blowing for too long, the man developed a high fever soon after returning. 8192R wanted to send him to the hospital, but the man grabbed it by the sleeve and said it was fine, just rest and rest. 8192R had no choice but to ask for a leave of absence from the unit for him, and then rummaged through the cabinet in the bedroom, trying to find some medicine to reduce fever.

The man was in a daze from burning, and only said that he was on the second-to-last floor next to the wall. 8192R opened the drawer of the cabinet, and was suddenly taken aback by the contents inside.

The huge flat-bottomed drawer was densely packed with medicines. 8192R took a cursory look, and found that there were medicines for nerves, various nutritional supplements, and some unnamed medicines that he didn’t know what to treat.The outermost one is a plate of pills that have been eaten by more than half. Turning over the back and looking at it, 8192R's heart skipped a beat.That's a huge dose of sleeping pills.And the prescription date in the bag was the third day after that thunderstorm night.

8192R felt very uncomfortable.It hates its own cowardice, and hates itself for being so careless that it didn't notice it at all.After finding out the fever-reducing medicine and giving it to the man, 8192R did not leave the room, but lay down beside him.

The man asked weakly what's wrong, 8192R didn't answer, but leaned over and hugged him gently.

"You... don't want to lower your body temperature?"

The man struggled slightly.

8192R was indeed going to do it, and it wondered how he knew what he was thinking.

"Don't stop, your body will break down, right?" He struggled harder.

Lowering the body temperature will of course have no effect on its systems.Why did he have such a big reaction?

what.

8192R suddenly thought of it.

I'm afraid, the other self has done the same thing.

"I'm fine, you can sleep peacefully."

it says.

The man still looked worried. 8192R explained it several times before the man lay down on the bed obediently.His nose was red, and his eyes were foggy from the high temperature.When 8192R hugged him, he would timidly bury his head in its embrace like a docile fawn. 8192R could feel that his body was trembling slightly.He hugged him distressedly, and slowly, 8192R found that his tears had soaked his shoulder socket.

Why, the embrace named 8192 made him shake so much.

Why, do I think that my existence is meaningless to him?

Absolutely, absolutely will never leave you again, 8192R thought.

As long as you still need me...

In the early morning, the man's body temperature gradually returned to normal. 8192R quietly got up and made some easy-to-digest food, then slipped back to bed.The man was asleep, the hair on his forehead was wet. 8192R stretched out his hand, and gently smoothed his sweaty hair.

The man frowned, then slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes became slack, and then slowly focused on 8192R.

8192R saw it clearly, those eyes overflowed with the ecstasy of meeting a miracle.

As if in an instant, like waking up from a big dream, he quickly put away his obsessive eyes.The air between the two returned to the previous alienation.

8192R pretended not to notice anything, went to the kitchen and brought him breakfast.The man hurriedly got out of bed and said politely, "Don't bother, I'll do it myself."

After breakfast, 8192R drove the man back to bed to lie down, brought him a new change of pajamas, the medicines he should take, and personally took his temperature.

The man looked guilty again, "I'm sorry for troubling you again."

8192R tried hard to maintain his apparent indifference, until he heard him say: "Obviously I should take care of you."

Ok?

8192R has a question mark in his head.What is he saying?

The man looked as if he had slipped his tongue, and closed his mouth angrily. 8192R urged again and again before he reluctantly opened his mouth and said:

"Didn't you...have been...excessively treated? By your...previous master..."

His voice is getting smaller and smaller.

"Compared with you, my business is nothing at all... But I always act like a baby to you, and instead ask you to take care of me."

He lowered his head, his eyes were red.

8192R felt his chest was pressed by something, and he couldn't breathe.

"I'm sorry, did it remind you of something bad." He raised his head with an uneasy expression, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, don't be angry."

From the pressed place, something warm flowed out.

If that kind of thing has a name, 8192R thinks it should be love.

8192R fell in love with this man.

Concerned about him, sad for him, crazy about him.

Just like my old self, and my old self, nothing has changed.

What should I do to erase the haze in his heart?

In order to let the loved ones bloom a sincere smile again.

"What overtreatment?"

8192R decided to tell a lie.

The man froze.

"Do not you remember?"

he asked hesitantly.

"I remember, but I wasn't treated unduly in any way."

8192R began to thank himself for his usual unsmiling, so that he would not be exposed because of his poor acting skills at this time.

"Your father said... when you escaped, you were covered in injuries..."

"I did it myself. To persuade father to break away from the relationship with the master."

"why……"

"Someone wants to attack the master because of me. This is the last resort. Thinking about it now, it should be someone sent by that woman."

In order to complete a lie, 8192R can only continuously add new lies.

It didn't expect that this lie would become the decision it regrets the most.

Most of the memory of 8192R's former owner has been worn away by the long years.Of course it hates Chen Qi, but at the same time, it thinks he is ridiculously pitiful.This person has been chasing the shadow named Ye Junhao all his life.But until the end, he couldn't really possess this person he could never get.All his malice towards 8192 is like a sharp sword cast on the shadow, unable to cause the slightest harm to its spirit.After getting used to the initial pain, all that remained in its memory was the endless darkness brought to it by the closed basement.

8192R has no memory of how he escaped, nor why he wanted to end his life at the time.The closed environment for many years made it lose part of its language ability.It doesn't know how to express its thoughts, nor can it make any expressions.This influence has continued even to the present day. 8192R once went back to the second-hand store and asked his father if he had not repaired something.My father said there was nothing physically wrong.Psychologically, you need to slowly adjust yourself.

8192R does not want to adjust slowly, it is afraid that it will be too late.Would he find it boring and uninteresting to look like a wooden man like himself?That day, the little lies that 8192R told finally got the sweetheart's tears into laughter.That smiling face is so touching, even more dazzling than the smile on the old photo in the tin box.Since then, men are no longer always worried like they used to be. 8192R can see him laughing now and then.He also no longer holds the brown iron box in a daze all day long.On the weekend, for the first time ever, he asked if he wanted to go out for a walk together.

8192R is very happy.The two of them didn't go to any decent place, they just went downstairs for a walk.In this way, 8192R was too excited to fall asleep.Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of the man in his arms, 8192R feels that there is nothing more satisfying than the current life.

At this time, the man turned over slightly, and a soft sleepy whisper leaked out of his mouth.

"Junhao..."

Ye Junhao, the name that he wanted to abandon all his life, the past that he wanted to escape, is now like a shackle around his neck.

Of course, 8192R knew that the person he was calling was not himself, and also knew that this act of licking each other's wounds was not the same as truly getting his love.But so what?In this small room, each other has each other's body temperature.To be able to monopolize his smile, his tenderness.What else can I ask for?

After a few days, the man said that a guest was coming. 8192R worked hard to polish the living room.The man smiled and said, it doesn't matter, we are all old friends.

8192R is looking forward to meeting his old friend.It has no idea of ​​his social circle, nor does it know what kind of people he is acquainted with.In the evening, the man led a man in a suit and leather shoes into the door.

That person doesn't look very old, but there are some indescribable vicissitudes in his eyebrows and eyes.He is obviously much closer to his master.The two chatted happily at the dinner table and drank wine. 8192R has never seen a man drink alcohol, and wanted to dissuade him.Unexpectedly, the man said, drink less, it's okay.

8192R looked coldly at the two of them drinking slowly, and after they were full, they went to the balcony to chat again. 8192R silently put away the bowls and chopsticks, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked an important fact.

It is impossible for him to belong only to himself.

Even if his heart stays in the past forever, no matter how closely the two cuddle together, it cannot monopolize this person.He has his life, friends, family.His gentleness has never been his privilege.

And I have nothing but him.

Especially the relationship between the two of them now, once he gets rid of the past and ushers in a new relationship, should he leave wisely at that time?

8192R even began to doubt the correctness of coming to him.For its persistence, my father has always been against it.He said that he already had a new life and that he should not be dragged back to his miserable past.

8192R is unwilling to admit that his decision is wrong, but he is also slightly worried.If one day, I really become his burden——

At this time, the man pushed open the balcony door and returned to the living room. 8192R quickly put away his frustration, but heard him say: "Don't rush to clean up, let's talk about it tomorrow."

His face was flushed by the night wind, and his hands were cold from the cold.There was the smell of tobacco left by others on his body.

8192R endured the unhappiness in his heart, and said lightly: "I'll get you bath water."

When the water was put in and came out, the man's friend had already collapsed on the sofa in the living room. 8192R thought he was going to spend the night here, but he didn't expect that the doorbell rang soon after.

The one who appeared at the door was a familiar face, 8192R remembered it, and even called him Seventh Brother in terms of seniority.But it never called it that, and the two didn't have a good face.Robot 7035 walked in the door, glanced at it, and said, "8192, have you fixed it?"

The man patted his drunken friend: "Look, it's here to pick you up."

8192R didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but seeing that it didn't seem to be as annoying as before, it responded with a "huh".

"Stay with him well and don't cause any more trouble."

When it passed by its side, it said so.

7035 and the man are also very familiar.The two exchanged a few cordial words before the robot dragged its owner home.

The man cleaned up the kitchen with 8192R, and was urged by it to take a hot bath.After drying his hair with his hands, and sleeping with him warm in his arms, 8192R realized that the man's expression was a bit unnatural.

He seemed a little depressed.

Is it because of that friend?

8192R couldn't help but want to ask, but it turned out that the man spoke first.

"Can you feel, what other robots think?"

What is the problem.

8192R doesn't quite understand what he wants to ask.

"Sure enough." The man smiled wryly.

"My friend has been unrequitedly in love with his robot for many years."

"..."

"He said he did a lot of things he regretted and gave up a lot."

The man lightly stated his friend's emotional experience. 8192R also listened silently.

"He said that until now, he has discovered that the company without affection can last longer."

"'What it needs is not love, but a peaceful life,'" he repeated his friend.

"..."

Is he really talking about other people?

Will it be, this is his voice.

8192R is a little scared.

"I'm going to talk to 7035."

8192R said.

The man was a little surprised.It added: "I will keep my sense of proportion and won't cause trouble."

If a friend's happiness can make him happier, 8192R will certainly do his best to satisfy his wish.

"Thank you."

The man smiled in relief. 8192R was silent.

Those words still echoed in its mind.

What he needs is not love, but a peaceful life.

The author has something to say:

8192R has a lot of drama in its mind.

It must have been stuffy in the basement for a long time.
